General Information

Summary Paragraph

Hold Me Tight is based on the idea that long term love between romantic partners is not only possible, but is our birthright and that we are all better and stronger human beings when we can find a safe haven and a secure base in a loved one's arms. Loving couple relationships are the basis of secure families, a saner society, and a truly human future for us all. In the first session, the facilitator teaches the core concepts of attachment and invites discussion. In the following sessions, each conversation that is outlined in "Hold Me Tight" (the book) is presented by the facilitator who offers a framework of key points for the conversation, invites discussion, and then introduces examples of the conversation from the DVD. Couples are invited to share their experiences of the exercises and given homework.

Curriculum Purpose

The goal of this program is to help couples repair, enhance and continually grow their love relationship. Participants will better understand romantic love- the pivotal moves and moments that define a relationship; better understand their own and their partner's emotional responses and needs; be able to describe and control negative interactions/spirals that create pain and distance; and be able to shape the positive moments of reaching and responding that create a secure bond.

Instructional Approach

The facilitator's main role is to create and constantly recreate a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. Facilitators are group leaders and consultants who will also learn from participants about the ongoing dilemmas of keeping a love relationship strong. They are NOT primarily advice givers, problem solvers, or skill instructors.
